3. What is a session like?
If you come to my office, you will sit in a chair and I will probably sit or stand behind you. It’s easier for me to scan your energy from behind you — that way, the energy of your personality will not interfere with subtle energies. I will not touch you. I sometimes wave my hands around, sort of like an orchestra conductor, as I correct your energy. I may ask questions about your symptoms, and whether or not you are feeling any changes during the session. If you have a physical pain, I may ask you to test it or move the body part, to see if the pain has diminished. I may work silently for several minutes at a time. I will occasionally report to you the issues that I’m correcting — for example, I may say “I’m working on your lower back, lumbar 3” or “I’m correcting your negative thoughts about swimming lessons.” Sometimes, if I have to tell the client what I’m correcting, it interrupts the flow, so I don’t say anything. But sometimes I narrate what I’m doing.
If you have a phone session, you can get in any comfortable position you like while I work on you. I may be silent for a while, and then I’ll ask questions about how you’re feeling. Like in an office visit, I may or may not tell you what I’m correcting, and I will ask if you feel any changes.
4. Will I feel anything? Will it hurt?
It will not hurt. Some clients feel tingling or warmth as their energy begins flowing normally through its channels. Some may find themselves sighing or taking a deep breath as blockages are cleared. Some may experience tears in their eyes. And others will just feel their symptoms improve without experiencing energy shifting. It depends on how sensitive people are to energy. But you don’t have to be sensitive to get good results.
5. How long will it take to feel relief?
It varies. Often, pain can clear almost instantly — it’s very common for clients to experience relief very quickly. For instance, a client reported elimination of nasal congestion within 15 seconds. Elbow pain relief took about 2 minutes. A panic attack took about a minute to clear. Sometimes improvements take 10 or 15 minutes of treatment. And sometimes results are not felt during the session, but are felt hours later, or the next day. A client with a chronic cough said she was 100% better the next day. Another client came in for help with financial blockages and inability to get work doing what she loved. Two weeks later, she got her ideal job, after several years of trying. Occasionally, however, clients feel no change at all. Fortunately, I estimate that this happens less than 20% of the time. Sometimes this is because the root cause of their problem is buried under layers of other problems. In this case, the client needs additional treatments. And sometimes, on a non-conscious level, clients are not ready to give up their issues.

6. Are the effects permanent? What if my pain comes back?
The corrections are permanent, and many problems are eliminated for good. But some issues have multiple causes, and many layers. If these layers are left uncorrected, the problem may recur, because even though the original corrections are still holding, there are other weaknesses that have not yet been dealt with. If pain returns, it means that additional corrections need to be made.
7. Do phone sessions work just as well as in-office visits?
Phone sessions are just as effective as in-person sessions. Sometimes I actually prefer to work on the phone, because I don’t have to filter out the energy of the client’s personality. Also, I can work in my pajamas. (Just kidding.) My clients who have done both phone and in-person sessions say that both are equally effective. Phone sessions are great for people who are unable to travel, or who live far away, or who just don’t want to deal with the traffic in Los Angeles. Some people have a hard time believing that a phone session could possibly work, and some just prefer to talk face-to-face. That’s fine. If you happen to be in Los Angeles, I’ll be glad to see you in my office. But don’t let your location stop you from receiving treatment. The phone works!
8. How does this work?
I use the Yuen Method to scan and correct your energetic weaknesses. I correct your weak energy by directing a pulse of energy to specific points in your spine area. This is like flipping an energetic switch that causes the weak energy that was turned off to become normal and turned on. Then, with your energy no longer weak, your body-mind-spirit can heal itself, often instantly. I also occasionally recommend homeopathics, and teach you how to resonate with healing earth-field energy. See About Energetics for a more detailed discussion on distance healing.
9. How can a pain in my body come from a non-physical cause?
Most people assume that the physical level of our existence is more basic than the emotional, mental and spiritual levels. But actually, all of these levels are just as real, and just as important to our health, as the physical. And all these levels affect each other. Energetic weakness in any level can cause problems in any other level.
Suppressed emotions can cause allergies. Chronic physical pain can cause degeneration of mental function. And seemingly unimportant things that bother us in our daily routines can cause major health problems, over time.
So, for example, when I treat you for a sore throat by clearing your fear of public speaking, or when your anger at your grandmother disappears after I correct the 5th thoracic vertebra in your spine, don’t be surprised!
10. What if I’m skeptical that this will work? Do I have to believe in it?
Your beliefs have no impact on whether or not you get relief. Animals and babies have neither positive nor negative expectations, and they are very easily treatable. Not only is belief immaterial, but awareness of being treated is also not necessary. Corrections can be made on people or animals without their knowledge.
